Most things look pretty bad and gross when you zoom in on them close enough.

I always think ofthis.

My adopted cockerpoo x Labrador is much the same, super sweet, no aggressive behaviours but can’t comprehend that every other person and dog wouldn’t want to be best friends with him. He’s getting better though and is now much more cautious approaching other dogs but will still run half way up to another dog, stop and wag his tail until the other dog comes up to him which can be stressful. Super fussy eater too, I’m told that’s a poodle thing.

That sucks but at least it was quick, I got put in the Bond wiggler.

There’s a great podcast called “Kill James Bond” that posits the theory that every time a spoof comes out it scared the studios so much that they had to reboot it.

Masque of the Red death is a Edgar Allen Poe story not De Sade. If De Sade had written it the protagonist would have tried to fuck death.

Sadly the only way to know for sure is to test brain tissue, including in people, so there’s no way to be certain without killing the potentially infected animal/person.

There are a bunch of tests they can do for people that can potentially identify rabies (lumbar puncture, CT and MRI scans, skin biopsy, antibody test) but apparently it can still be easily missed even with all of these tests so they aren’t enough for an accurate diagnoses.

Unfortunately quarantine and observation isn’t effective as a testing strategy for animals, the disease can progress at different rates and it’s possible for infected animals to show no symptoms. As rabies can’t be treated after symptoms start showing, they can’t take the time to do this.

It’s important for their mental enrichment.

A little glass vial.

Do you know what’s nuts? He’s well respected within the industry as an editor - he’s worked with many of the luminaries of science fiction and fantasy over the years as the editor for Wild Cards and other short story collections.

They’re still making videos on YouTube at least once a year too! One of the two brother chaps who created it went on to work on the animated show Gravity Falls too.

It’s from the D20 Star Wars RPG, they weren’t the most accurate to the cannon even at the time. An interesting historical point is that the earlier West End Games star wars RPG fleshed out a lot of the expanded universe that we know and love and were used as reference material for the expanded universe novels.

Good old d20 Star Wars, I have great memories of this rpg. I loved the maps that d20 modern/future era Wizards of the Coast made.

I swear, my descendants shalll never forget this mild slight.

Listen here you bastard, it’s three tops

Oh those things are super cool, soviet era display technology had a great aesthetic. This YouTuber had some great videos on them

Looking at it, I think it might be an one of those old mono LCD displays? The video makes it look like it’s a bunch of small individual ones rather than a large continuous display.

The industry is experiencing historic shrinkage post COVID due to unsustainable growth during COVID.
